Will I look uneven without having posterior flanks done? Getting anterior, pubis, and abdomen. (Phot
Will I look uneven without posterior flank liposuction
Mar 23, 2021
There are options that represent the best aesthetic goal, and there are options that a patient's life circumstance allows for at the moment. While a tummy tuck is the best cosmetic option it sounds like you are realistic that limited support as well as possibly limited finances make you want to look at other options. Be sure to also discuss the circumferential liposuction with a limited loose skin excision anteriorly. While it's not a tummy tuck fixing the fascial and muscle structures...
Looking at getting 400cc xhp submuscular implants. Is this appropriate for me?
400 xhp
Mar 17, 2021
If you sized in the office and discussed all alternatives then possibly this could work for you if you are ok with looking "augmented" rather than natural. If the base of your chest is truly only 9 cm on each side that implant may give you more "side breast" than you want. Depends on what you are going for. It does sound a bit large to me given the measurements.
Will 425cc round silicon - above the muscle look too large on me? I want to look natural but fuller
Is 425 too large
Mar 17, 2021
Lots of variables in implant sizing, and be sure to go through the exercise at home with rice in a zip lock, and also with implants in the office so you can get a sense of how it looks. It's surprising how often someone may say they wish to be a full "C" or small "D", but when they self size they would clearly be a double "D" or at least a large "D". Cup size if different for each bra manufacturer. Relative to your small frame and thin appearing upper pole of the breast you may want to...
Would an endoscopic abdominoplasty be a good option for me?
Endoscopic abdominoplasty
Mar 3, 2021
Your question is one that comes up on occasion with patients who don't have a great deal of skin laxity following pregnancy. What I have found to be the better option for most patients is an umbilical float procedure. This still allows for easy repair of the diastasis (not easily done via an endoscope...doable but awkward and takes longer), and some skin excision and tightening. The key with umbilical float procedures is you have to have an original belly button position that is on the high...
Is a mini facelift a good option for me?
Will a mini-face lift correct my nasolabial folds
Jan 19, 2021
Since we can pull our cheeks up easily with our fingers to make our folds look much better people think a face lift or mini-face lift will accomplish that result, but it won't. Yes your native anatomy makes your folds a bit more evident than some people your age; it would not be a logical step at this age, and a mini-face lift won't fix that problem for you leading to disappointment. Fillers to the cheeks and a bit to the folds would be beneficial, but are temporary. You might also consider...
Would getting more filler on the sides of the lips make the cupid's bow area look more natural? (Pho
More filler to sides of lips
Jan 19, 2021
Your question is legitimate, and fair to ponder. Currently your left upper lateral lip is slightly fuller than the right side. That may be partly related to your native anatomy since we don't know what your pre-injection photos look like. It's not unreasonable to tailor your results with a touch more filler if that's the aesthetic you're striving for. It's fine for your surgeon to give insight as to what they think looks good to them, but they aren't living with the result, and your not...
Am I a good candidate for face or neck lift?
Am I a candidate for a face or neck lift
Jan 18, 2021
Hopefully you get that asking Plastics surgeons if you are a candidate for a face lift opens a huge set of options. Be sure to get a couple consults from qualified surgeons in your area, and be open to discuss all aspects of your skin, anatomy, and personal concerns of what really bothers you. Discuss what skin care and noninvasive treatments like laser or IPL treatments offer versus chemical peels for skin tone and quality. Discuss your eye lids, lips, jaw line, as well as neck contour and...
I have fat jowls and 1 side is significantly uneven from previous surgery. Best procedure to get a c
Neck and jowl fat with facial asymmetry
Jan 18, 2021
Thank you for your question and photos. Certainly your midface asymmetry may have been present and uncovered by the buccal fat removal or possibly slight differences in how that procedure settled out may have led to your current appearance. Kybella is a perfectly fine product, but can be expensive and much less reliable than precise liposuction of the face and neck with syringe liposuction technique with fine cannulas and meticulous precision. This is commonly done with local anesthesia and...
Will getting a facelift or any other surgery on my face make my Melasma flare up worse?
Will my melasma worsen with a face lift
Nov 20, 2020
That's for your question on pigmentation risks with face lifting. Melasma is not just mediated by sun and inflammation, but estrogen also plays a role which is why many women notice it with pregnancy or after starting some birth control. Face lifting itself in my experience rarely kicks melasma into gear. Certainly there's no down side to being on hydroquinone and appropriate skin care for your skin type several weeks before your surgery as well as after and the risk should be even lower....
What kind of lift do I need? Do I have to get a lift at all?
Do I need a lift
Oct 1, 2020
You need to do a couple in person consults, and be sure you have your current implant information. Your areolas are relatively small and a donut mastopexy will most likely end up with a substandard result. Much depends on how much larger you are willing to go as well as if you are willing to pay the extra expense of the options for "internal structural support". The internal bras can be done with slowly absorbable materials such as Galatea, human dermis, or porcine dermis as examples. Be...
If the data for TT w/ drains versus TT w/out drains is similar, why is there such dichotomy amongst
To drain or not to drain a tummy tuck
Aug 25, 2020
The decision to use a drain, or not to use a drain, may depend on how much added liposuction of the abdomen and flanks would be performed at the time of surgery. Even with progressive tension sutures if a fair amount of liposuction was done it can still be wise to place a single drain in for 3 or 4 days to control the tumescent fluid ( numbing fluid placed for the liposuction) going into the surgical space. Also, we often find some patient's procedure may demonstrate more bleeding or fluid...

Do I need 800 cc implants
Jul 13, 2020
Let's face it we all come in many shapes and sizes, and our individual aesthetic choices vary greatly. Still as Plastic Surgeons we have an obligation to give you the big picture of up sides and down sides of those choices. You mention that years prior you had a breast reduction/ lift. If one reason you did that surgery was back and neck pain there is a reasonable likelihood that you may get back and neck pain again, as well as increasing the chance of weight gain over the next few years....
Does it look like I need more lipo? Or that I need to JUST lose weight?
Do I need more liposuction
Jun 17, 2020
Thanks for your question, and you have a great start on your result.  For many people at the 4 month point they may still only be 75% or so toward the result so be patient awhile longer while maintaining an excellent diet, and increasing activity. Before investing more on treatments give it another two or three months. It's important that you also remain realistic about what a liposuction can and can't do. If someone has a bit of laxity and weakness in the abdominal wall from pregnancy or ...
How soon after the tummy tuck healing process is done can I get a tattoo over the scar?
Timing of tummy tuck scar tattooing
Apr 21, 2020
Your question is a good one but oddly enough it depends of the rate with which your scar stops changing color. A red headed person might take 18 or 24 months for the redness to settle down in their scar and a darker complected person might settle down in 8 or 9 months. At a minimum I'd suggest you be 6 months out from surgery, but pay attention to the color of your scar and once it stops changing color then do the tattooing so that the artist can deal with a stable canvas.
Does it matter how much cc of fat is taken out of the body? The more the better or is it really base
How much fat can safely be liposuctioned?
Apr 4, 2020
This question gets to the heart of why you want an experienced board certified plastic surgeon doing your procedure. It's not a simple number that the surgeon has in their head that they are going to liposuction 2000 cc only on everyone, or 5000 cc for that matter. What is the patient's age, what is their overall health, do they even have significant subcutaneous fat deposits. A patient with thicker fat deposits might have 1,500 cc of fat just from their abdomen and flanks, and another might...
